We were all taken by surprise to some degree. There was **no named storm**. There was **not a particular warning the authorities gave**. The **Environment Agency** did not comment but pointed out that it has committed **£2.4 billion to invest** over the next two years to protect people from flooding, and has plans to consult on a new strategic vision for flood investment. --- <img src="data:image/png;base64,#pic2.png" width="80%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> **Frequent Flood History**: Multiple significant flooding events in 1816, 1866, 1946, 1954, 1980, 2007, 2015, and 2020. **Policy and Planning Challenges**: Policy implementation and planning coordination when managing flood risks. **Social Vulnerability**: As the third most populous county, the area has significant social vulnerability, with low-income and marginalized communities being more susceptible to flood risks. --- <!-- 固定标题 --> <h1 id="main-title">Flood Risk Management in Greater Manchester</h1> <!-- 左图右文容器 --> <div style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 30px;"> <!-- 左边图片区域 --> <div style="flex: 1;"> <img src="data:image/png;base64,#pic3.png" width="100%" /> </div> <!-- 右边文字区域 --> <div style="flex: 2; font-size: 16px;"> <ol> <li><strong>Data Timeliness and Frequency Issues</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Problem</strong>: Satellite imagery (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel-2) has long revisit periods (8 days for Landsat 8, 5 days for Sentinel-2), delaying real-time flood monitoring.</li> <li><strong>Solution</strong>: Integrate high-frequency data (e.g., Sentinel-1 SAR) with drones for real-time, frequent flood monitoring.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Cloud Interference Issues</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Problem</strong>: Optical remote sensing imagery is impacted by cloud cover, hindering data acquisition in cloudy/rainy conditions.</li> <li><strong>Solution</strong>: Use SAR data (e.g., Sentinel-1), unaffected by clouds, for continuous all-weather monitoring.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Flood Warning and Emergency Response Capacity</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Problem</strong>: Complex terrain and poor infrastructure hinder accuracy and timeliness in some regions.</li> <li><strong>Solution</strong>: Integrate real-time data analysis and multi-source fusion (remote sensing, meteorology, sensors) to improve warning accuracy and speed.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> </div> </div> --- <!-- 固定标题 --> <h1 id="main-title">Flood Risk Management in Greater Manchester</h1> <!-- 左图右文容器 --> <div style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 30px;"> <!-- 左边图片区域 --> <div style="flex: 1;"> <img src="data:image/png;base64,#pic4.png" width="100%" /> </div> <!-- 右边文字区域 --> <div style="flex: 2; font-size: 16px;"> <ol> <li><strong>Insufficient Community Engagement and Education</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Problem</strong>: Lack of awareness and response ability to flood risks, especially in economically disadvantaged areas, despite government efforts.</li> <li><strong>Solution</strong>: Enhance community education and participation with flood history maps and real-time monitoring apps to boost preparedness and response.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Limitations of Traditional Flood Control Measures</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Problem</strong>: Over-reliance on traditional engineering measures (e.g., embankments, drainage systems), facing maintenance issues and limited effectiveness.</li> <li><strong>Solution</strong>: Introduce nature-based solutions (e.g., wetland restoration, tree planting) alongside traditional measures to improve sustainability and reduce dependency on hard infrastructure.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> </div> </div> --- <div style="display: flex; height: 100vh; align-items: stretch;"> <!-- 左边:文字内容 --> <div style="width: 55%; padding-right: 30px; box-sizing: border-box;"> <h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)</h2> <p><strong>SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities</strong><br> Improving flood resilience directly supports SDG 11, which aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Ground conditions (how waterlogged the ground is before a rainfall event) 2. The extent of impermeable surfaces 3. Drainage capacity or blocked drains 4. Topography of the land. - The next important factor is **improper drainage system** due to which if the ground is saturated, then the water has nowhere to go. - As occurred during the Boxing Day 2015 floods: Storm Eva brought prolonged, **intense rainfall on catchments that were nearly waterlogged**, causing rivers to rise rapidly and overflow. --- # Rainfall Intensity .pull-left[ - Heavy precipitation is the dominant meteorological factor in Greater Manchester’s flood risk. - Cloudbursts and high-intensity rainstorms can overwhelm urban drainage, leading to flash floods. - On 25–26 December 2015 up to 128 mm of rain fell within 36 hours in parts of the Irwell catchment north of Manchester ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/rainfall-26.png" alt="Flood Image" width="80%"> <p><em>Rainfall intensity across Greater Manchester at 8am on Boxing Day.</em></p> </div> ] --- # Rainfall Intensity .pull-left[ - The river level for the River Roch on Boxing Day 2015, at its downstream meeting with the Irwell, was 1.1m higher than anything recorded in its 64-year history. - **37 of 44** river gauges in the area recorded their highest levels. - The 2019-2020 floods in the UK, were due to **cumulative rainfall** which was also then recorded as the wettest month to be recorded recently - Climate projections (UKCP18) anticipate this pattern continuing, with warmer, **wetter winters and more intense downpours expected**. ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/rainfall-26.png" alt="Flood Image" width="80%"> <p><em>Rainfall intensity across Greater Manchester at 8am on Boxing Day.</em></p> </div> ] --- # Drainage Systems & Surface Water Flooding .pull-left[ - Greater Manchester’s highly urbanized landscape adds another dimension to the flood problem: **impermeable surfaces and drainage capacity**. - When heavy rain falls on cities, much of it becomes runoff. - Intense rainfall, when combined with extensive paved areas and limited drainage capacity (or blocked drains), leads to dangerous accumulations of water in low-lying urban spots. - These low lying areas with the region's old drainage system can create flood hotspots. ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/surface-flooding-areas.png" alt="Flood Image" width="100%"> <p><em>Surface water flooding hotspot areas (2024).</em></p> </div> ] --- class: center middle ## Heavy rainfall exceeding drainage capacity is the cause of urban flash floods --- class: inverse center middle ## Rainfall is the triggering factor and Drainage capacity is the limitation for Greater Manchester --- # Boxing Day 2015 .pull-left[ - 128mm of rain in 36 hours - 37 of 44 river gauges recorded highest-ever levels - Three river-flow gauging stations, with flows of around 1,700 m^3/s (1.7 tonnes per second) - Approx 2000 properties flooded - 7 Electricity Substations damaged which left 32000 properties without power. ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/boxingday-prop.png" alt="Flood Image" width="100%"> <p><em>Number of Properties affected (1 km x 1 km grid).</em></p> </div> ] --- # Boxing Day 2015 .pull-left[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/gm-topo.png" alt="Flood Image" width="100%"> <p><em>Greater Manchester topography map.</em></p> </div> ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/boxingday-prop.png" alt="Flood Image" width="100%"> <p><em>Number of Properties affected (1 km x 1 km grid).</em></p> </div> ] --- ## Before and During the Floods .pull-left[ - The heaviest rains from Storm Eva was experienced mostly in the North of Manchester. - In the preceding days, **soils in these areas had become saturated and close to capacity**. - The combination of prolonged average rainfall, saturated catchments, rapidly responding rivers and heavy showers on and around the 26th resulted in an **extremely rapid onset of flooding**. ] .pull-right[ <div style="text-align: center;"> <img src="Files/river-irwell.png" alt="Flood Image" width="100%"> <p><em>River level (Blue line graph) Irwell and Rainfall (Blue bar graph).</em></p> </div> ] --- class: bg2 <div style=" display: flex;
